The National Black Church Initiative The Church Emergency First Aid Program and Kit (CEFAPK) Protecting All Faith-Based Communities
PROTECTING AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES FROM DISTASTERS AND OTHER EXTREMIST NBCI is gearing up to offer to faith-based communities the necessary tools and equipment to protect themselves NBCI and all faith-based communities are responding to the extreme violent culture that has targeted faith-based communities NBCI believes that the church must be ready to deal with: violent extremists, domestic violence, natural disasters and in the case of a national emergency
NBCI NATIONAL COLOR CODED ALERT SYSTEM We have developed an emergency coded color system and a church first-aid emergency program to alert the church of immediate dangers This is in conjunction with NBCI Color Coded Alert System We have developed this system to alert churches and faith-based communities of the danger to the church and its members so they can protect themselves and work with law enforcement
The National Black Church Initiative Church Alert Color Coded System
NBCI MISSION STATEMENT The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), a faith-based coalition of 34,000 along with additional 116,000 black churches comprised of 15 denominations and 26 million African American Christians have raised the alert level to purple. This is the highest alert level that has been designed by the National Black Church Initiative to alert its churches, members and others that another imminent attack on the church is possible. NBCI will keep the alert level raised to purple for the next 30 days and gradually lower the alert level depending on terrorist activities around the world. We continue to partner with law enforcement around the country.
THE CHURCH EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROGRAM AND KIT (CEFAPK) The CEFAPK is a systematic preventive approach to protecting lives in faith-based communities CEFAPK is a comprehensive program that consists of but not limited to, assessment of church needs, health emergency education and training and for every church must have its owns super first-aid kit CEFAPK consists of 3 factors: A comprehensive assessment on congressional need A comprehensive training and retraining program A super first-aid kit that is able to serve over 200 people at one time
ELEMENTS OF CFAEPK ASSESSMENT PROGRAM NBCI and its health professionals will provide each faith-based community with a comprehensive assessment of their emergency first-aid need NBCI will create the Church Crisis Committee(CCC) and they will serve as the point of contact for the church first-aid program NBCI will conduct a comprehensive training program on emergency first-aid strategies and techniques for 50 to 150 church members to form the Church Action Crisis Core (CACC). The course will be comprehensive and certified. Certificates will be provided upon completion.
NBCI TRAINING AND PROTOCOLS FOR FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES Training NBCI will provide a comprehensive training course on emergency first-aid utilizing the latest and sophisticated techniques with the goal of preventing casualties as a result of a domestic terrorist act and natural disasters. First Act: NBCI will immediately notify and coordinate all emergency activities with law enforcement and the appropriate homeland security agencies. This course should consist of: a. Applying first-aid to the injured b. Separating the serious from minor cases c. STOPPING the bleeding d. Comforting those who have been wounded e. Getting those who are wounded, especially the most serious cases, to an emergency care facility within 5 MINUTES.
CONGREGANTS FIRST-AID RESPONDERS NBCI will train up 60 to150 congregants who will be equipped with first-aid emergency techniques to assist their fellow members in case of an emergency The rationale for such large training courses is to make sure that there is a minimum of 10 to 35 persons who are trained in emergency first-aid at the church at all times We will designate Captains who will implement the emergency First-Aid protocols within 5 minutes depending upon the nature of the emergency
Equipment: Providing each congregation with appropriate First-Aid Supply Kits based upon the size of the congregation, the context of its location and demographics. NBCI Will Provide Three Levels of Emergency LIFE SAVING First-Aid Equipment. I. Standard for congregations 0-500 II. Deluxe for congregations 500-4,000 III. Advanced for congregations 5,000 and above

THREE METHODS OF MARKETING TO THE FAITH COMMUNITY I DIRECT MARKETING II SOCIAL MEDIA III THROUGH THEIR DENOMINATIONS
THIS IS A COMPLICATED MESSAGE TO APPROACH THE CHURCH WE NEED TO DEVELOP AND CO-BRAND A GUIDE CREATE A MARKETING GUIDE FOR CHURCHES IN ORDER TO ASSESS AND EVALUATE THEIR FEELINGS, THEIR NEEDS, AND THEIR DESIRE TO PROTECT THERE CONGREGATIONS NBCI WILL CREATE A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAGN NBCI WILL CREATE A WEBPAGE OF THIS PROJECT NBCI WILL DEVELOP A HEALTH SERMON AROUND THIS LIFE SAVING MESSAGE NBCI WILL DEVELOP A HEALTH ALERT NBCI WILL DEVELOP AN EMAIL BLAST NBCI WILL MEET WITH ALL CHURCH LEADERSHIP ACROSS RACIAL AND DENOMINATIONAL LINES NBCI AND ITS TEAM WILL HOLD OVER 50,000 EDUCATION SESSIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
PRICING This is a complete program and it can not and will not be an a la carte service.
